After sending Wang Daochang away, Du did not forget, and then returned to the room to fall asleep, after all, this New Year made Du Don't forget to feel very lonely!

After a few days, the Hou Mansion finally began to be lively again, and various officials in Beijing began to come to visit Du Buyi Mansion!

Naturally, Zhang Xuan is indispensable!

On this day, Zhang Xuan took the two young men to visit Du Bu Bu Mansion with gifts, Du Bu looked at the two people next to Zhang Zhang, he was shocked and embarrassed!

It turned out that one of these two people was Li Fuxing, who was robbed by Du Yifu, and the other was Yang Weicong, the champion of the previous session!

Li Fuxing first came over and said to Du Yi:

"Happy New Year, Brother Du has only been seen for a few months and you have become a marquis, I am really envious here"!

Du didn't forget to look at Li Fuxing's expression, as if he didn't know that he robbed the marriage last time, so he asked tentatively:

"Brother Li is also happy New Year, I didn't expect you to come to Beijing for the New Year, I don't know what about your wife, Miss Xi"?

Li Fuxing replied:

"Don't mention it, Miss Xi disappeared on the night of marriage, but now I'm married again"!

Du did not forget to think that the missing Xi Siqi had married Li Fuxing again, and hurriedly asked:

"I don't know which lady Brother Li married, but did he bring Jingshi"?

Li Fuxing replied:

"My wife is a big local family near us, Miss Xue, but he got pregnant a few days after he got married to me, and now he is really raising it at home, otherwise he will bring Brother Du to meet you well"!

Du did not forget to put his mind at ease at this time, and said with a smile:

"When I have time one day, I will go to Changsha Mansion to see how Li Gongzi's wife is beautiful"!

Li Fuxing, laughing at this time, secretly said in Du Buyi's ear:

"My wife is actually average, but she is really happy in bed!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Brother Li, at this time, you still think about those"!

And then laughed!

On the side, Yang Weicong came over to interject and asked Du Yifu:

"Master Hou, I don't know if you have a wife's room?"

Du didn't forget to think about it and said:

"Not yet, I don't know what about you, Brother Yang"?

Yang Weicong replied:

"Of course married, I see that we are still single here, how about I introduce you to a large family of young ladies as a matchmaker, and your appearance is also good, I guarantee that you like it"!

Du did not forget to sigh and replied:

"Who would marry me like me, I guess those who are willing to marry me are those who look at my fame and title"!

Yang Weicong replied:

"It's hard to say, now these women don't all look at your official position and fame, and after marrying you later, as long as you conquer her in the room, will she still care about this"?

Du Yi didn't forget to say:

"Maybe, it seems that you are married, and you are very experienced!"

At this time, Zhang Xuan came over and said to Du Yi with a smile:

"I see that Du Houye, you are still single, why don't we observe and observe the woman Yang Zhuangyuan said for you?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"I don't care if you worry so much about my little brother!"

Then Zhang Xuan said:

"Okay, let's visit the young lady's house tomorrow, Brother Du, do you want to be together?"

Du didn't forget that he thought it was a joke before, but when he saw a few people as if he was telling the truth, he quickly refused:

"Don't come to it, you guys, I don't want to marry a wife yet!"

At this time, Li Fuxing said:

"Don't pretend, a man who doesn't want to be famous will marry a wife and have children, you are short of a wife now, how can we, who are good brothers, not help you"!

Du did not forget to change the topic and asked:

"Brother Li, I don't know what happened to you in the capital this time!"

At this time, Li Fuxing glanced at Zhang Xuan, and Zhang Xuan immediately said:

"Li Gongzi came to Beijing this time to serve in the Ministry of Punishment by His Majesty, Yang Zhuangyuan is now in the Ministry of Officials, and I, Zhang Zhang, am now the waiter of the Ministry of Rites"!

Du did not forget to come to Beijing since he saw Emperor Zhu Houxi, he has been closed, and at this time, everyone has been sealed to official positions, and they can't help but congratulate a few people!

After a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, Du did not forget, so he asked his subordinates to prepare a banquet and entertain a few people.

Just like that, a few days later, Li Fuxing came to visit again!

Du did not forget to see it, and asked himself:

"Li Gongzi, what's the matter"?

Li Fuxing directly pulled Du Buyi out of the door, came to a carriage, and said:

"Brother, of course I have something good to look for you"!

Du didn't forget to see this, so he had to follow him.

After a while, the carriage arrived outside a mansion, and I saw a plaque in this mansion, which read the words "Xia Mansion".

Du Yi asked curiously:

"What are we doing here in this summer house"?

Li Fuxing didn't wait for Du to finish speaking, and pulled him into the mansion, at this time, although the courtyard was not big, it made people feel very elegant, especially the small pines and cypresses planted in the courtyard!

After a while, Li Fuxing pulled Du Buyi into a hall, and at this time, the middle-aged man who was over forty years a year and Yang Weicong, who seemed to be waiting for a long time, hurriedly saluted Du Buyi.

Du Bu Bu hurriedly stepped forward to support the middle-aged man and asked:

"I don't know your surname, sir, I can't stand such a big gift from Mr."!

The middle-aged man replied:

"I am Xia Yan in the Ministry of War, I have heard of Hou Ye's demeanor, and it is inconvenient to come to the door to disturb, I didn't expect Hou Ye to be able to come to my house, it is really a great honor"!

As soon as Du Bu heard the name Xia Yan, he felt that he had heard of it somewhere, so he didn't thank him anymore, so he sat down and drank tea first!

After chatting for a while, Yang Weicong said to Du Yi:

"Master Hou, the lady I said to introduce to you that day is the daughter of Lord Xia's mansion!"

Du did not forget to hear it, and was stunned for a moment, only to know that Li Fuxing pulled himself here to propose marriage to himself, and he couldn't help but be extremely embarrassed!

At this time, Xia Yan said:

"My little girl is seventeen this year, she is the age to be married, she is at home all day long, she doesn't want to go out, so few people know about the little girl, so no one has come to the door to propose"!

Then he said:

"I didn't expect to hear Yang Xiandi and Li Xiandi two colleagues tell Hou Ye that he was going to propose marriage, watching Hou Ye is young and vigorous, his face is handsome and extraordinary, and his temperament is better than ordinary people, I Xia Yan, I am excited"!

Du did not forget to listen to the explanation and was about to explain, at this time Li Fuxing shouted outside:

"Please bring the ceremony in!"

At this time, a group of servants carried a dozen chests with red cloth to the front of the hall.

Xia Yan hurriedly thanked at this time:

"Master Hou, you really took great pains, I didn't expect to bring so much dowry here"!

Du did not forget to look confused!

Li Fuxing said to Xia Yan:

"Lord Xia, our Hou Ye proposed marriage for the first time, and he doesn't know much etiquette, I hope Lord Xia will forgive me!"

Then he asked:

"I don't know where Miss is now, can you let us meet Master Hou"!

Xia Yan ordered the maid to take the two of them to ***!

When a few people arrived at the door of a room in the house, Li Fuxing pushed the door open, pushed Du Bucheng directly in, then closed the door, and left with the maid.

As soon as Du Buyi entered the door, he saw a girl in a white dress dressing up in front of the dresser.

When the girl saw someone enter the door, she was startled, and quickly turned her head to see that it was a young boy, and asked in surprise:

"Who are you, and why are you in my boudoir?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"I don't forget it, and I don't know why I came here, it seems that I was dragged by someone to propose marriage!"

The girl, after a pause, said:

"Could it be that you are the Hou Ye that my father said was going to propose marriage today"!

Du did not forget to reply:

"Yes"!

The girl asked Du not to forget to sit on the stool on the side, and went back to continue dressing up!

Du Yi did not forget and asked:

"I don't know the girl's name"?

The girl paused, and replied:

"My name is Xia Zihan"!

Then he continued to dress up, and at this time, Du Buzhi, who was sitting on the side, was very bored and at a loss.

It just so happened that the hairpin in Xia Zihan's hand fell to the ground at this time, and Du did not forget to hurry over to pick it up, and then handed it back to Xia Zihan.

Xia Zihan didn't answer, and said:

"Master Hou, isn't it a bit disrespectful for me to let you wait for me to make up?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"No, I never feel like I'm a Hou Ye, I'm just a civilian in front of anyone!"

Xia Zihan replied:

"Can you comb my long hair, then?"

Du did not forget to reply embarrassedly:

"I won't, I've never combed a woman's hair?"

Xia Zihan replied:

"As long as you don't think I'm offended, then I can teach you!"

Then he took the comb and handed it to Du Buyi, saying:

"Comb my hair first!"

Because Xia Zihan has always had his back to Du Buyi, although he turned his head once, Du Buyi did not pay attention to Xia Zihan's appearance.

At this time, Du Bu did not forget to comb Xia Zihan's hair, while looking at Xia Zihan's slightly blurred appearance in the bronze mirror, and found that this girl Xia Zihan had a delicate outline and big eyes, she must also be a great beauty!

Suddenly, Du didn't forget to stare at the mirror, didn't pay attention to it in his hands, and broke a few strands of Xia Zihan's hair at once, hurting Xia Zihan, so she said angrily:

"Master Hou, can you concentrate on combing your hair, am I so good-looking?"

Du did not forget to apologize quickly:

"I'm sorry, Miss Xia, I'm distracted"!

Xia Zihan said:

"You actually proposed to my father, and I will be your wife sooner or later, so you can call me Zihan!"

Du did not forget to explain it at this time.

Xia Zihan said:

"It's the first time I've asked a man to comb my hair for me other than my father"!

Then he handed over the hairpin and said to Du Yi:

"Help me put my hair up"!

Du did not forget to say:

"I won't"!

At this time, Xia Zihan directly coiled up his hair, and then spread it out again, saying:

"Did you just learn"?

Du didn't forget to look at it, and he knew it himself, so he said:

"I got it"!

Then I coiled Xia Zihan's hair again!

Xia Zihan said again:

"Do you apply rouge gouache"?

Du did not forget to reply embarrassedly:

"Women's things, where will I be a man"!

Xia Zihan then taught Du Buyi to apply rouge gouache to himself again, which made Du Buyi very embarrassed.

Seeing that Du did not forget this, Xia Zihan said:

"You don't have to worry, I won't let you do this for me if I marry you in the future, I just want to see if you are the kind of man I like!"

Du Bu Bu said with a wry smile on his face:

"The way of the world has really changed, and there are still men who try men like this"!

Xia Zihan replied:

"Master Hou, I have decided, I want to marry you"!

Then he directly pulled Du Yi, who was stunned for a while, out of the door to see his father Xia Yan!
